citroeneddie Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 Just opened my bonnet and found a deposit of back soot about the middle of my 1.6 110 HDI engine. Don't know how long its been there, last service was 62.5k in January and a new Particulate filter fitted in February. Any ideas anyone? Thanks Quote

Thanks Are you sure it's not the underbonnet insulation crumbling? If it were to be exhaust type soot it would have to be linked to a leak, and for it to be up top in the engine, should we suspect the EGR side of things? Who knows. Any sign of any leaks or crumbling/degraded noise deadening foam? Quote
Johndouglas Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 Maybe it's just road dust. After all, with all our tyres wearing out, the rubber particles have got to go somewhere. Quote
citroeneddie Posted May 22, 2007 Author Posted May 22, 2007 I think one of the clamps has come loose following fitting of new Particulate Filter. I will let you know as car in for 75k service tomorrow. Quote
